Light in the Dark
This world is finite yet unceasing.
it keeps on spinning yet the
people do not. One day,
every person on this earth
breathing now will stop.
From the young to the old,
from the sick to the vibrant,
from the rich to the poor,
the End is the great equalizer.
The fear of death is something real,
the death of the self is a fright.
But the death of us all is a terror.
To think that it awaits every person
is a crisis that strikes the human heart.
To not exist in this plane
to not breathe a single breath,
to know it all will just stop one day,
is the horror of existential horrors.
Much like the pain of grief,
everyone deals differently,
but that's not what this is about.
This is a poem about you,
and one about me.
You are the light in the dark,
the truth in the lies,
and when I want to rip this
world in two and start anew,
I simply take a look at you and see.
Now, I don't know the truth,
and I don't have the answers,
but I can say that being with you
is like living forever.
